Col. Fred. Grant Nominated for Secretary of State
or New York.


or New York.
At the New York Republican State Conven-
ton last week Senator Eyarts nominated Col
Fred. ID. Grant for Secretary of State in aspeech
highly eulogistic both Of Col. Grant and Of Gen.
Grant, and which was frequently applaGded.
The nomination was made by acclamation amid
tremendous applause. and Col. Grants appear
ance was the signal for another demonstration
of enthusiasm. He modestly came forward and
said: " Gentlemen, for the honor which you
have conferred upon me / am truly grateful.
l shall endeavor to do my duty. | thank YOU"
The ticket was then completed as follows
Controller, Judge Jesse Lamoreux, Saratoga;
State Treasurer, James III. Carmichael, Erie;
Attorney General, James A. Dennson, Fulton /;
State Engineer and Surveyor, o. III. 2. Cornell,
TOmpkins.
The platform states that the Republican
party, by all honorable means, seeks restoration
to power in the State and in the Nation, because
of the unchallenged record of history attestiug
its administrative successes in war time, in the
period of restoration and pacifcatiOn, in execu-
tive, legislative and financial achievements, in
the purity and efficiency of its methods, and in
the lasting benefits conferred upon the people,
and because, since Democratic ascendancy in
the State aud Nation, the ineapacity and in
efficiency of that party in administration and
| in legislation, the egregiOus blunders of the
executive and the Democratic branch Of Con-
| gress, many Of whose acts are to the detriment
OF the public interests, have constantly en-
! phasiZed the wisdom and necessity of such
restoration. 1t is charged that the Democratic
party has exposed its weakness, broken its
| pledges of reform, placed incompetent men
| in position, disorganized the Postal Service and
| DISTRACTED business in the other Departments.
| 1t condemns free trade and adheres to the prin-
| ciple of protection of American labor and Ameri-
| can industries; refers to President Cleveland S
| hypocritical pretenses of Civil Service reform
asserts that persecution Of the wOrkingman in
the South and the denial his civil rights causes
degradation, low wages aud inferior products,
and demands free ballot and fair count for
every citizen. 1t says the veterans of the Union
armies and navies are entitled to liberal con-
sideration for all public preferment and should
receive generous care and adequate pensions,
aud refers TO the fippant, sneering language OF
President Cleveland's pension vetoes as insult
ing to the veterans and degrading to the exeeu-
| tive. 1t calls for laws against pauper immi-
| grafton and the importation of contract labor,
and recommends local option and high license
| in regard to the LIQUOR traffic.

A Most Rsm.rkabl. nsrk.man.

Capt. Elmer E. Stubs, the champion
combination wing shot of the world,
with rifle, revolver and shotgun, has
the greatest record of any living marks
man. To attempt to give but faint
idea here of the marvellous execution
of this wonderful marksman with the
rifle would be to court impossibillty.
Capt. Stubs, accompanied by General
Sherman and a party of diplomats,
from Washington, d. c., once went
buffalo hunting in Texas, and the way
the Captain bulleted bisons was ter
TOR to the band. His record for the first
sally at the prairie kings was thirty nine
buffaloes in thlrty-eight minutes. The
Captain has repeatedly broken 100
glass balls. spriDging from a trap, in
100 consecutive shots. He has driven
an eight-penny nail to the head in a
pine plank in three successive shots,
and VIII pierce silver dime through
the center every time at 200 yards. He
will snuff candles with skill and de-
gree of accuracy which is simply sur
prising; and in fact, he can make
almost any shot within the range of
possibility while flying on the back of a
running horse OF standing on the
ground. Captain Stubs appears at
every performance of the great Doris &
Colvin shows, which will surely exhibit
at Medicine Lodge, Thursday, August
10th. He is the leader of the scouts,
cowboys, frontiersmen, Mexican va
queros, bull-fghters, lassoists, ranch
men. ETC., in the New Wild West. The
Doris & Colvin's shows are an immense
organization, and Will exhibit, in con-
nection with the Wild West, colossal
Roman hippodrome, huge three-ring
circus, a monster menagerie, worlds
museum and elevated theater stage.
1t is safe to say that its like was never
seen here before. It's managers are
honorable and responsible gentlemen,
and the show truthful, fair and honest
in every respect. 1t should be greeted
by full attenance.
